MANILA, Philippines – Cebu Pacific canceled more flights for Sunday to Tuesday, April 28 to 30, citing “an unprecedented level of disruption” to its operations.
“We do our utmost for flights to operate as scheduled. However, our operations have been severely limited by a number of factors,” Cebu Pacific corporate communications director Charo Logarta Lagamon told Rappler on Sunday.
“We had a couple of planes damaged during bird strike incidents, and some with technical concerns. These factors are causing a domino effect in our operations.”
In a separate advisory on Sunday, Cebu Pacific also said: “Efforts have been made to minimize the disruption to our passengers in the past week. However, we realize that current operating conditions, particularly in our Manila hub, necessitate a temporary reduction of flights.”

Affected passengers can go to the Manage Booking section of the Cebu Pacific website and choose from any of these options:
- rebook flights for travel within 30 days from original departure date, free of charge
- get a full refund
- place the full cost of the ticket in a travel fund

Affected passengers will also be given one round-trip travel voucher which they can use for future flights.
“We are truly sorry for the inconvenience this has caused our passengers,” Cebu Pacific said. – Rappler.com
